<div><p>If you want to perform a backup immediately, you can manually perform the backup.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Context</h4><ul><li>During the execution of a manual backup job, parameters (except <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Automatic Retry</strong></span></b></span>) defined in the SLA, such as <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Rate Limiting Policies</strong></span></b></span>, <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Automatic Indexing</strong></span></b></span>, and <span class="uicontrol"><b><span><strong>Application-Consistent Backup</strong></span></b></span>, take effect.</li><li>Copies generated by manual backup are retained for the duration defined in the SLA.<p>If the protection policy selected during manual backup is not defined in the SLA, the generated backup copy is retained permanently. If forever incremental (synthetic full) backup is not defined in the SLA but selected for manual backup, copies generated by the manual forever incremental (synthetic full) backup will be retained forever.</p>
</li><li>If a replication or archive policy has been defined in the SLA, the system will perform replication or archiving once based on the SLA when you perform manual backup.</li><li>When a manual backup is initiated for a cluster or host, if the cluster or host has a VM whose SLA protection policy is inconsistent with that of the cluster or host, the VM will not initiate a backup job.</li></ul>
